Dell sells the MD3000i which is an LSI product. LSI is the biggest threat to EMC today at Dell. Their products compete with every Dell sells from EMC. They have their foot in the door and can offer much better pricing that EMC. EqualLogic is no threat to EMC; niche player at best.

Great points – living in the Round Rock, TX area I feel the ebb and flow of Dell in the housing market and roads Lately the flow of cars is predicated by international business on the NAFTA highway.

After reading your comments about EqualLogic, it reminded me of the group quietly running storage at Dell, ex-Zambeel folks Darren Thomas and Praveen Asthana.

As for FCoE and iSCSI those are convergent not divergent My thoughts on FCoE is to save money on cards. Overall, the networks stay separate due to cultural issues between storage and IP data management in organizations.

Great points and it’ll be interesting to see how the quietly successful ex-Zambeel folks work with the incoming EqualLogic teams.
